Taking the time to recycle newspaper, bottles, cans, and even plastic at home gives you an opportunity to minimize your carbon footprint on this planet. Recycling even helps to cut down on the overconsumption of natural resources, such as timber and minerals, because all your used resources can be scrapped, cleaned, and turned into new products without the need for new materials. And you should also find that using recycling containers frees up a lot more space in your garbage cans so you don’t have to take the trash out as often, and you may even save some money on your garbage pickup service fees.
